Fine Lines - How to Make the Most of Lining and Enjambment (Monday March 5th, 7-9 p.m. in The Seminar Room, Department. of English, A3033, Arts and Administration Bldg., Elizabeth Ave.) Max. 12 participants.
We'll examine the art of using diction, enjambment, and caesura to create and enhance meaning, as well as the concept of the line as its own poetic unit of meaning within a poem. Students should bring a nascent poem or two to work on in the latter part of the workshop, in which we'll be radically relining existing work.
